Brian is studying hard for his big comprehensive oral exam that he's taking this Thursday. He studies every morning, day, and night. He even had a study session on Friday night!! But I stayed busy, I went over to another wife's house with a few friends and we had a chocolate fondue party! It was a lot of fun .... and really yummy! I know Brian will do well, and we both can't wait until this part is finally over. He'll start his 9 month internship in the middle of July. I know all of his hard work will finally feel like it's paid off once he actually starts putting it all to practice!!
I've also kept myself busy with teaching summer school. If I haven't already complained to you about it, here it is. It is absolutely HORRIBLE! It's at this middle school that's not too far from our apartment, which that's nice but that's pretty much the only nice thing about it! These 8th graders have no motivation and they are real trouble makers. I thought they'd be motivated since they won't be going on to high school if they can't pass this state mandated math test. They've failed it twice now, and they have one more chance! Let's also say that within the first HOUR of school, on the first day, there were 3 different "taggings" and one pretty big gang related fight! Tagging is when gang members use graffiti to mark their territory. I'll be glad when it's all over!
On top of everything that's been going on, we are in the middle of moving to our first home! We are really excited! I'm especially excited because that means I don't have to drive as far to get to work. Oh how I miss Reagan High School right now!!! We've been moving small things with every trip that we make up to the house. We're hoping we'll only have all of our furniture left once Thursday rolls around. Our apartment is becoming barer by the day! I can't wait until everything is in our new house and organized! Nan and Dean are coming down here to help us get everything organized and for a little vacation! I hope everyone that is reading this is doing well, and I hope you all can come down to San Antonio for a visit! We'll have plenty of room now!
